Omarosa Manigault temporarily left the “Celebrity Big Brother” house after being hospitalized for an injury.
The former White House staffer was competing in a game Friday where the cast needed to get dizzy and then bowl when the show’s live feed went down, according to TMZ. When the feeds were back up and running, Manigault, 44, was nowhere to be found and fellow cast members Marissa Jaret Winokur and Ross Matthews were discussing her hospitalization.
“You knocked her out and did so wonderfully,” Matthews says to Winokur.
Winokur adds, “I put her in the hospital,” but includes that she’s going to be OK.
It’s unclear how exactly the former “Apprentice” contestant was injured and whether or not she would return to the show, but both cast and viewers attributed it to some sort of asthma attack.
Loyal fans, who tune in to the constant live stream of the cast’s time in the house, were quick to discuss her hospitalization.
Many seemed to allude to the fact that Winokur might have purposely injured the former aide to President Trump.
“Marissa is salty that Omarosa is in the hospital getting ‘recharged.’ Didn’t she PUT her there? #cbbus #bbceleb,” one viewer tweeted.
Another added, “Did Marissa hit Omarosa with malicious intent? Don’t see why she would make such comments over another human going to the hospital. Unless she thinks Omarosa is subhuman due to her beliefs or somethin’ else. #BBCeleb”
A couple of Twitter users said that Manigault faked the injury to get a break and rest that isn’t easily available in the house.
Manigault returned to the house Saturday afternoon “after receiving medical attention … for an asthma attack,” a rep for CBS told the Daily News.
